My onscreen guide lists two episodes of Heroes tonight, neither one is noted as Season Premiere, so which episode is it?

Second one is the actual episode. I think they mentioned that there's some sort of special in the first hour, but I forgot exactly what it is ... maybe a review of last season.

Actually, tonight is a three hour thing. The first is a special behind-the-scenes the way I understand it and then there is a two-hour season premiere. That might be why it is not listed that way so people watch it all, GG. I will be watching what I can, but definitely not just for William Katt.

I love all the Star Trek refs. Funny. They are having a recap character party.

Boy Katt was really Cool! Although re: his reporting skills...He should just Chill! I have to admit, he did an excellent job in that role. Unfortunately, he fits some people I've seen in that particular job, which means he understood the character. Still, it was fun watching the show. Did find out a lot of things have changed or been added since I first watched it. Might have to keep following it now.

OK, this was "GAH" night. Katt appeared on "Heroes" and the "Robot Chicken" sketch that parodied "GAH" and included Robert Culp in the bit was on tonight. Too funny - on several levels (had guessed this might happen tonight. )

^ You know, MyTatuo got onto me for spoilers...
Then again, when I read who his character was and who he dealt with I went "Uh oh... what's going to happen to his character?" ;D

Hello, all, I had the GREATEST time with William Katt! I'm glad I went today as the Adventure Con scheduled for October in Glendale has been rescheduled for May of 2009 and Katt had no idea what his schedule would be next year and if he could go. I got there right around 3:00 and there were about 20 or so folks ahead of me in a narrow line at the far side of the small store. I bought SPARKS #1, as required and was ready to go. It took nearly an hour to get to him as he was so friendly with everyone he just chatted merrily along and signed all they had brought him. When I finally got up to him, my camera batteries died, dead, and the nice idiot who took a picture with my cell phone left me with sheer blackness, which I did not learn until later. I got up to him and right away said I represented the TGAH on-line fan forum and had to ask him about a rumor (He Suddenly Looked Very Concerned) going around that Robert Culp was still hotter than he was. There was a pause and then he laughed. He then began discussing "Bob Culp", whom he said quit drinking in 1986, completely, and totally ever since. Katt wished he had Culp's intelligence, which is notable even in Hollywood. Katt said that Culp knows EVERYTHING, all the news and trivia about everyone and it was amazing to listen to him. Apparently their old and brief antagonism has happily departed. He said Culp was sharp as a tack (pointing at his head). I then asked him to sign my SPARKS comic in a "goofy" way (just for Ms. B's benefit, which I did not mention to Katt)--"No Mona, I won't give you your shirt back". He delightfully obliged. He was simply really wonderful to meet. They were playing GAH episodes above him and he still had that tiny goatee. He mentioned he drove out from LA as it was only six hours and if traveling by car is 6 hours or less, he'll do that instead of fly, due to flying hassles. He said he had a book on tape to listen to. He was driving home after this signing tonight. Someone said "In your Bentley" and he scoffed playfully obviously not driving that expensive a car. I left to go to a meeting and was early for it so pulled out my cell phone and realized the photo was crap! With time wasting between my meeting and having a photo with Katt, I ran into two stores (Halloween store and a Golf store), neither of which had batteries. So, I stopped at a gas station and bought them there. Zipped back to the CRAZY mall, found a parking space a little far away, but since they were so tight with spaces I took it. RAN through the parking lot back to Atomic Comics. There was just one couple ahead of me, with a family at the table with Katt. No one considered it too weird I was there again! I told one of the Atomic Comics workers that I wasn't a stalker, and he said "Well, if you are, you're a nice one". I made a good impression on Katt and staff there! Katt shared a scary story of when he worked on the movie "Baby, Secret of the Lost Legend". This movie took place on some island off Africa or something, and although the French has owned it, there were "400 tribes" living on it, all of whom spoke their own dialect and all of whom hated each other. Unfortunately, some tribal guy with the movie had a truck wreck and killed a person from another tribe by mistake. Katt and the movie crew were setting up for a shot when they saw "100 men walking towards them all of them armed with machetes". They were going to kill EVERYONE in revenge. Katt recalled them all grabbing whatever equipment they could, and then leaping into trucks, and driving away. They had to drive for SEVEN HOURS, around dangerous land until they were safe. A young boy asked Katt at the end of the story if he had really been scared and Katt said, "I was REALLY scared." When it came to me, Katt knew my name, and was very obliging to let me get my picture taken with him again (the fourth attempt). As you can see, this one took! I got to my meeting only 20 minutes late. All in all, a great time! Everyone should meet Culp and Katt! Katt was terrifically friendly and down to earth. Oh, one other thing. He was talking to me about the upcoming movie and said that Cannell is using Bill and Ralph, but making it for a younger crowd. I told him to try to make more "action figures of Ralph and Bill" and he took that seriously, though Cannell makes ALL the decisions and controls EVERYTHING with TGAH. He said that they want to do more with the origin of the suit, whose had it before. I asked, you mean outside of JJ Beck? That took him back a second, and then he said, "yes", and mentioned that SPARKS occurred in 1938, right around JJ got the suit himself. So, he was surprised I knew the intricacies of the episodes, and I was surprised he knew almost the exact year or so JJ got the suit. He said the movie IS different, due to the younger age factor, but at least the good news on that is that it won't be filled with a plot too dark or violent. Anyway, that's all I have to report! Mona

I'm glad you had a great time with Katt! He is awesome! A real joy. It's a great pic too! You were supposed to mention it (the shirt from me) and tell him I said hi, silly. I wanted his reaction.

Geez, for a list that dislikes "flaming", apparently, the way stuck out tongues fly around here is amazing and unfortunate.
Hey, Ms, B, I truly had no idea I was supposed to do or say anything in representing you. If you really wish me to do something, next time please send a Private Message detailing your desire. That is certainly the best way to ask me to do so. I can't keep track of all the emails sent on the boards, oftentimes, and I'm sorry but I don't recall any from you in that regard.
Anyway, to be honest, I felt I did my duty representing the Forum mentioning to him the Culp is hotter than him rumor. The rest of the time I wanted it to be him and me. I hope you can understand, given that, anyway, I had no idea of what you wanted.
Mona

Mona, I'm now angry at myself, I would have liked to get an autographed pic with dedication ... problem is, I've contacted you TOO late. I feel very very sorry for myself now. PITY ON ME! Well, if someone knows Katt's physical mail address, I would be glad to drop him a letter... Ms. B? Don't you know how to do that? I'm glad to know such wonderful news about the upcoming movie... who knows... maybe it will be a huge hit.

Otherwise HD and I would be hurling insults at each other for three years now.
